Carmine is to be temper’d in your Shell with Gum-Water j and adding a
little Spirits of Hartftiorn, whcnrofCCHbr the pale Colour, it gives it a very
pleafant Bloom for Flowers.

Sap-Green, Gamboge, and Indian Ink, are only to be-dUuted with fm
Water.

The Colour is to be extrafted from the French Berries, by breaking them a
. little and pouring boiling Water on therti, adding a littk Allum.

The other Colours muft be ground fine on a Stone, with Gum-Water pro-
portion’d to their Quality.

Lake, Pruffian Blue and Indico, being liable to crack, a little Sugar- Candy,
diffblv’d in weak Gum- Water, is preventive to that Inconvenicncy.

Gum-Arabic is what is ufed : 'Tis neceflary to chufe the clearefl: it being
very effential to the Beauty of the Colours.

The Pencils arc thofe of Camels Hair. The youngefi: Praifritroaer need,
hardly be infontiM, rhat it is Beft to chufe thofe that taper to one and a fine
Point, without being fubjed to fplit at the Ends. For painting Flowets, th^,

dancing the fined Colours we can ufe are but Dirt, when compar’d- with the
natural Gaiety of the Tints on Flowers, yet the Colouring thcR^fe with Car-

is herorecommended, after the ftrd or lighted Carmine is laid on, to fodenk
with a faint Wa(h of Pruffian Bhie, then proceed with pure Carmine •, and, to
give Power to the darked Parts of the Flower and Roundnefs to its Appear-
ance, add a little Indko. If one is-reprefeated fo-miich blOvtnia^ to (hew the
